Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State had seemingly the perfect opponent for Senior Night in Robert Morris, which came to the Nutter Center with a 7-22 record and losses in five of its last six games.
But the Colonials weren’t the pushovers everyone expected, at least not at first.
Forcing the Raiders into 10 first-half turnovers — more than they had in a full game against Youngstown State on Thursday — the visitors built a 32-29 halftime lead and a 37-29 edge early in the second half.
Not exactly the way coach Scott Nagy wanted to send his seniors out.
“We were throwing it all over the place. A third of our possessions were turnovers,” he said disgustedly.
The Colonials had a chance to make the lead 10 but missed a pair of free throws. And the Raiders soared after that, going on a 29-8 run on their way to a 71-61 victory Saturday night.
Grant Basile had 20 points, eight rebounds and tied his career high with four blocks. Trey Calvin had 18 points and three steals. And Tanner Holden finished with 16 points and eight rebounds.
